I want more, lots more

children that is. I'm turning 33 this summer and everytime I think of it, i just cringe, not at the fact that I'm getting older but because of the possibility of having less years to get pregnant and have a healthy baby. So, the plan now is to get knocked up this summer so I can have a baby in the late spring.

Whose with me? (um, Hsu?)

I actually loved being pregnant, minus the first 14 weeks of pure evil morning sickness hell and I hope that all my pregnancies result in a natural birth which brings me to our plan to do it at home. Yup, I said it, a homebirth! That's the plan so far but it makes me super nervous to even think about it but I lay in bed thinking about it sometimes and I don't think I would be as comfortable anywhere else. Don't quote me on it, I gotta get pregnant first.

There are still a lot of factors that need to go into getting pregnant. First, trying not to kill husband. He's driving me crazy lately and I'm so ready to take him out!
Second, work my ass off now so we can save money and really stop working once I do have another baby.
and Lastly, get healthy! That's probably the hardest thing to do. I'm still about 10 pounds away from my pre-pregnancy weight and since I was overweight to start with I really need to get somewhere near my ideal weight before I can consider it but you know what's weird? When I think about being my ideal weight, I worry that I'll be so happy that I wouldn't want to be pregnant again, isn't that just stupid? well, that wont happen, not being worried but being at my ideal weight. never been so probably never will.

I would love to have 4 children but I need to at least have one more so Elle has a sibling to turn to when she's old and gray. That's the most important reason for wanting more children. I don't think I'd be who I am without my brother and sister and I'd hate for Elle to be an only child. A-man only wanted one child but he's beginning to understand that importance as well. I guess I should start making nice with hubby... at least until summer:)

Hahaha. You're so funny. Yes, make nice with hubby. I'd love to have another child, but I think it'd be so hard.

More cute babies! I'm always up for more cute babies!

I'd rather Ben not be an only child but I was, and I didn't come out too bad.


...shut up.

I'm done at two. I'm a firm believer that the best gift you can give your child is a sibling. So play nice with Hubby! ;)

I would also love to be preggo this spring...but since I haven't gotten AF yet! (I have been waiting since Bailey was like 6 months old!) I think my chances are pretty slim.

OOOH!!! More babies YES!!

ITA with the first 14 weeks not being any fun, but from my own personal experience the 2nd time around isn't as bad because you know it's coming. ;)

Sending lots of baby dust your way!

I'll send some baby dust your way! Any particular color? ;)

We're hoping for one more, but if it doesn't happen, it just wasn't meant to be. And if this makes you feel any better, I'm 35. ;)

Oh, all my girls were homebirthed (well, one in a hotel room), and they were all wonderful experiences which I'll always cherish.

I will be 33 this summer as well! And, as much as I would love to have another, pregnancy and I are not friends. So... we'll have to see what the future holds! I will be jealous come spring when everyone is preggers!
